Wikipedia, 'Statenvertaling': "The Statenvertaling (...States Translation)... was the first translation of the Bible from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek languages into Dutch, ordered by the Synod of Dordrecht 1618 and financed by government of the Protestant Dutch Republic and first published in 1637...
In 1626, the States-General accepted the request from the synod, and the translation started. It was completed in 1635 and authorized by the States-General in 1637. From then until 1657, when a second edition was published, a half-million copies were printed. It remained authoritative in Protestant churches well into the 20th century.
In 1645, the Westminster Assembly commissioned Theodore Haak to translate the Statenvertaling... (... with commentary) into English for wider distribution. This massive work was published in London by Henry Hill in 1657."
This Westminster commissioned English translation of 1657 is the one here made available.
Charles Spurgeon gave the Dutch Annotations 2 out of 3 stars and said, "Haak’s Annotations come to us as the offspring of the famous Synod of Dort… but if, with my hat off, bowing profoundly to those august conclaves of master minds, I may venture to say so, I would observe that they furnish another instance that committees seldom equal the labors of individuals. The notes are too short and fragmentary to be of any great value. The volumes are a heavy investment." "Similar to the Westminster Assembly’s Annotations."

Rev. Joel Beeke said on the contrary, "‘If Spurgeon had rated the Dutch Annotations, translated by Theodore Haak, for example, according to its just deserts, perhaps it would have been reprinted several times during the twentieth century!"
